Description

I took this photo from a Bortle 1 location in the middle of Nevada with an astro-modified Canon 6D, a Sigma Art 40mm lens, and a Star Adventurer star tracker.  There was a lot of intense airglow and clouds, so I set my star tracker to shoot 60s exposures and took a nap in my car until the sun came up.  You can see some residual airglow in the stack at the bottom of the frame, and some wispy/low data areas on the bottom as well, but overall, considering the back of my camera was bright green, I'm pretty pleased with the amount of dust and nebulosity!
